CAN-DO, EMERGENCY SUPPLY DROP- PINE RIDGE RESERVATION - BLIZZARD

CAN-DO secured the delivery of emergency aid to the Pine Ridge reservation on Wednesday, January 7th. We worked with sponsor HyVee Employee Owned Grocery Stores, and received incredible support and cooperation from managers Doug Dell and Brice Autry. Additionally, Wal*Mart generously provided transportation of the shipment of aid to the Pine Ridge Reservation and dropped off at Wanblee Community Center run by Gus and Terry Craven (www.nativeoutreach.org) The much needed aid was received by Terry and community leader Marian White Mouse. We were also met by residents and volunteer who helped us unload and distribute the supplies.

CAN-DO is currently in Crow Creek implementing the second stage of this project and will be posting updates soon. Shortly, we will provide an address where people can send warm clothes, blankets and other much need items.

i loved this video. knew mosta the people in it.. me and my family lived in the new housings on sioux circle ave. house 503.. we suffered a great deal, melted out own water and somehow my mother kept us feed with the little food we had left for them two horrible weeks of literally being in hell.. no one had transportation, and we had 4 familys of 21 people all together in my house, we made it through with the power of love and god... but i loved the input on ur video....much love

A happy ending to a crises the media ignored. I wouldn't have known about it except for Keith Obermann of MSNBC, and his show has very few watchers compared to the other crap on cable TV.

Great save everyone. Let's keep NA in our hearts and minds.

[hikerman4u]

dying? you just die when you don't bath for 10 days straight and nearly die of exhustion from helping the people.

I heard that. At 1:00 the lady says, "We are really lucky that we had no fatalities.

Russell Means and his cronies are sending out e-mails saying that many people are dying because of the storms.

This simply is not true.

Thank you, for the video and generous, self-less actions.
